Videos: Shook Ones: "Tired of Sex" (live at The Fest 8)

Paper and Plastick

Shook Ones Tonight's Fest 8 video update stars Shook Ones, who ended The Fest for many of us on Sunday night with an insane cover of the Weezer classic, "Tired of Sex". There were technical difficulties throughout the end of the band's set and kids were going apeshit all over The Atlantic, so disregard the poor quality of the video and try to imagine being there (or reminisce, if you were there).

The band is currently on tour with Make Do and Mend and We Are The Union. You can click Read More for the video.

Avenged Sevenfold issues new album recording update

Warner Music Group

Avenged Sevenfold has posted an updated on their upcoming plans and new record:

It has been awhile since we have shed light on our current doings. We have been focused on only one thing, writing and preparing to record what to me is our most personal and epic Avenged Sevenfold album. The reason is the fact that everything happening around us in the entire world might be a once in a life time source of inspiration and direction.

We have been harnessing every aspect of what makes A7X truly unrelenting and building off of that. I don’t think we sleep too much anymore because of the excitement we feel while writing this album.We are also in the final stages of solidifying our production team, studios and engineers so that the second the axe falls and the album is written we will spend day and night in the studio until it is complete.

They released Avenged Sevenfold in 2007.

The average wheelchair costs $150 to refurbish, which means Rock to Roll has directly improved the lives of roughly 580 individuals in need. This is the first year the event will take place in San Francisco. Tickets go on sale Saturday, November 7 via Slims.
